Due to injury and illness he never made a major impact on the senior squad, however he played an important role in the very successful youth team. Though Collins made 3 league appearances in the 2005/06 season for Ipswich, he was put up for a free transfer due to a persistant injury and was duly snapped up by Cambridge United in January 2007. On March 31 he appeared with his brother, Jordan Collins in Cambridge's club record win (7-0 v. Weymouth F.C.) to become the first pair of sibblings to play for United for 13 years.
